Description

QuickTime can play the Free audio and video formats Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora, if the (also Free) Xiph.org QuickTime Components are installed from:

http://xiph.org/quicktime/

Suggest that the Quicktime filter be enhanced to recognize the extensions ogv, .oga, and .ogg in addition to .mov.

Someone just asked about this in the forum.

i have managed to change the multimedia filter and add Java player that plays ogg files
it's very preliminary but it works

1. get the applet from http://www.flumotion.net/cortado/

  • i used http://www.flumotion.net/jar/cortado/cortado-ovt-stripped-0.2.2.jar
    2. put the bin jar applet in : /moodle/filter/mediaplugin
    3. overwrite (after you backup !!! ) the attched files in the same folder
    ( for vanilla moodle 1.9.0 just use the attached files )
    /moodle/filter/mediaplugin/defaultsettings.php
    /moodle/filter/mediaplugin/filterconfig.html
    /moodle/filter/mediaplugin/filter.php
    /moodle/filter/mediaplugin/filtersettings.php

now, multimedia filter configuration just got a new ogg file format filter enabled
and any ogg file you upload/link will be played with the java applet.

their are some more applets out there and of course this applet needs more tweaking too
but, it a start.

i was looking for a flash ogg player (apr-08) but found none useful (btw. see devel version : http://flash.j-ogg.de/
it is more cpu intensive then the java applet). and as far as i can understand... implementing vorbis
decoder in action-script is difficult and the Adobe people rather have h264 implemented natively
in the player then having ogg... bomber !
